Bowdoin Fjord is a fjord in northern Greenland. To the south the fjord opens into the Inglefield Gulf of the Baffin Bay.[1]
This fjord was named by Robert Peary after his alma mater, Bowdoin College.[2] It was the subject of paintings by Frank Wilbert Stokes at the end of the 19th century.[3]
Bowdoin Fjord runs in a roughly north–south direction with its mouth west of Cape Milne and 15 km west of Cape Ackland, in the northern shore of the middle reaches of the Inglefield Gulf.[4] Piulip Nunaa is the peninsula that separates this fjord from MacCormick Fjord to the west and northwest; Bowdoin Fjord forms its eastern coastline. To the east lies Prudhoe Land. There is an Inuit settlement on the western shore of the fjord roughly 3 km north of Cape Tyrconnel.[5]
The Bowdoin Glacier discharges from the Greenland Ice Sheet at the head of the Bowdoin Fjord.[6]
